Written Sun 12:01 am Central, for week 6
The Bengals are on bye in week 6 of 2026, so Dohnte Meyers doesn't play and scores nothing for you this week. He's fifth on the Cincinnati receiver depth chart behind Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Andrei Iosivas and Colbie Young, and he's managed 5.6 PPR points a game with zero touchdowns through five weeks. He sits at WR136 in our rest-of-season order. His next chance comes in week 7 away at Baltimore. Find a fill-in for this week and only keep him if your bench can carry a stash.
Written Oct 17, from his facts through last season
An undrafted rookie sitting fifth on the Cincinnati depth chart, behind Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Andrei Iosivas and Colbie Young, needs things to break his way to matter. Through five weeks of 2026 nothing has broken. He has played every game, which is something, but the 5.6 points a game is a week-4 spike of 15.2 propping up weeks of 3.8, 0, 5.9 and 3.2. Strip that one week and he is under four a game.
The usage tells you what kind of receiver he is right now. A 5.2-yard average depth of target, WR82 among 85 receivers with 15 or more targets, means Cincinnati is using him underneath, and 0 touchdowns on 18 targets means the short catches have not turned into scores. He has also dropped 2 of his 18 targets, which is the kind of thing that gets an undrafted receiver buried on a depth chart. The contested work is the one bright spot: 3 of 5 converted, WR6 among 45 receivers with 5 or more contested targets. Even after the catch he is only running 0.3 yards a catch over expectation, WR32 among the 58 receivers with 10 or more tracked catches, and that tracks over just the 10 catches charted in weeks 3 and 4 of 2026. That is a thin sample to lean on, and Chase and Higgins took 51% of the targets on this team last season.
Our preseason number was 5 points for 2026, our median sat at 5.1, and he has already matched both, but the middle range ran 0 to 10 and he is living right at the top of nothing. His bye lands in week 6 of 2026. We would drop him and find a receiver with a clearer path to targets.
